TattooPreviewAIUnderstand what TattooPreview AI creates, how credits work, what stays private, and what your tattoo artist still needs to decide.
TattooPreview AI turns an original written idea into visual tattoo-planning references. You can explore a concept, create stencil-style linework, check approximate placement on a site-provided body model, and prepare a brief for your tattoo artist. Every output is a starting point for discussion—not a tattoo-ready instruction.
One free credit creates one limited concept direction. When your account has enough credits, three concept directions use 3 credits, selected stencil-style linework uses 3 credits, and one final placement preview uses 4 credits. Positioning adjustments and the artist brief do not use credits. The interface shows the cost before each paid generation.
The current workflow accepts written prompts rather than personal uploads. Placement uses site-provided adult body-model images, so you do not need to provide a photo of your skin. Optional same-device drafts expire, and signed-in results remain in private History until you delete them, subject to the retention details in the Privacy Policy.
AI cannot assess your skin, anatomy, pain tolerance, allergies, healing risks, local tattoo laws, or a studio's technical requirements. It can also alter small symbols, edges, line density, and proportions. A professional tattoo artist must inspect, redraw, resize, and place the final design for the person who will wear it.

TattooPreview AI is an AI tattoo generator and planning tool. It helps turn an original written idea into a tattoo concept, a stencil-style linework reference, an approximate placement preview on a site-provided body model, and a consultation brief. It is designed to make your conversation with a professional tattoo artist clearer; it does not provide tattooing or replace the artist's final design work.
It is for tattoo clients who want to explain an idea more clearly and for individual tattoo artists who want a faster way to explore early directions with clients. It works best before or during a consultation, when the subject, mood, composition, size, and placement are still open to discussion. It is not a marketplace, tattoo studio, or medical service.
Start by describing the subject, meaning, visual direction, approximate height, and intended body area. Generate and choose a concept, turn the selected concept into stencil-style linework, position that linework on a site-provided body model, and optionally create a final placement preview. The final step creates a concise artist brief that keeps your selected direction and practical questions together.
Name one clear focal subject, explain the meaning or mood, choose a broad visual direction, and describe the desired silhouette, spacing, approximate size, and body area. Say which details matter and which should be omitted. Clear constraints usually produce a more useful planning reference than a long list of unrelated symbols or a request to copy an existing tattoo.
Not currently. TattooPreview AI accepts written prompts only. On the photo-inspired page, describe an authorized photo's subject, pose, recognizable details, meaning, and any background details to omit. Do not paste private image links or identifying information. Direct photo, sketch, reference-image, and personal body-photo uploads are not part of the current workflow.
A concept explores composition, mood, shape, and overall visual direction. A stencil-style draft simplifies the selected concept into clearer black-line planning artwork so you and your artist can discuss contours, spacing, and detail. The linework remains a planning reference and may need substantial redrawing before it can become a studio-ready transfer stencil.
No. A generated stencil-style image is not a tattoo-ready transfer stencil. AI may create uneven lines, impossible intersections, excess detail, or shapes that will not age well at the intended size. Your tattoo artist should redraw the design, set appropriate line weights, correct anatomy and spacing, and prepare the final stencil using the studio's normal process.
After creating linework, choose an upper-arm, forearm, calf, or shoulder model. You can adjust position, scale, rotation, and ink density in the positioning guide without using credits. When the placement feels useful, you can create one final placement preview for that selected body area. The preview is approximate and may change small design details during generation.
No. TattooPreview AI uses site-provided, AI-generated adult body-model images for placement planning and does not accept personal body photos. The model helps you discuss approximate scale, orientation, and visual weight without sharing an image of your skin. Your artist must still adapt the design to your actual anatomy during an in-person consultation.
No. It is a visual planning aid, not a prediction. Body shape, skin tone, lighting, muscle movement, tattoo technique, ink behavior, healing, and aging all affect the real result. Image generation can also modify linework or texture. Compare the placement preview with the selected linework and let your artist use the original reference as the source for final decisions.
Yes. A limited free credit creates one watermarked concept direction so you can understand the workflow before buying credits. The free experience is intentionally focused on one useful first look rather than three simultaneous images. Additional concepts, stencil-style linework, and final placement previews require the number of credits displayed before generation.
One concept direction uses 1 credit. An eligible three-direction concept set uses 3 credits. Creating stencil-style linework from the selected concept uses 3 credits, and creating one final placement preview uses 4 credits. Choosing a concept, adjusting placement, and creating the artist brief use 0 credits. Regenerating a paid step uses the listed credits again.
A prompt rejected by the safety review should not use a credit. If an operational generation failure occurs after credits are reserved, the service reports the applicable credit state and releases credits when the backend confirms they were not used. Do not retry repeatedly while a request is still running. If the displayed balance appears wrong, contact support with your account email and the approximate time of the request.
Paid credits are added to the signed-in account only after Stripe confirms a successful payment. Most eligible card payments are reflected promptly, while some delayed payment methods can take longer. Cancelling or abandoning checkout does not add credits. If Stripe shows a successful payment but the balance does not update, refresh your account and contact support if the issue continues.
Yes, depending on the product. Starter Pack is a one-time purchase and its credits are valid for 90 days. The 7-Day Tattoo Pass is also a one-time purchase and expires seven days after activation. Artist Pro releases 300 credits every 31 days; each release is valid for 31 days and unused credits do not roll over. The current validity or renewal terms are shown before checkout and on the Pricing page.
You can begin the limited guest experience without creating an account. Google sign-in is required when you need account-based credits, private History, payment delivery, billing management, or access beyond the available guest preview. Signing in also lets the service associate eligible generated results and purchases with the correct account.
The product is designed around private planning. Optional guest drafts are stored on the same device for up to 24 hours. Signed-in concept and stencil results can appear in owner-only History until you delete them. Public share links are not currently available. Analytics must not receive tattoo prompts, image content, email addresses, payment details, or private result links.
Yes. Sign in, open Dashboard, and use History to delete an individual generated result or all generated results. The item becomes unavailable in your account after the deletion request succeeds; final deletion may continue briefly across storage and processing systems. Limited records may remain where required for billing, security, legal compliance, or deletion auditing, as explained in the Privacy Policy.
Generation prompts are screened before they reach the image provider. Requests may be blocked when they involve explicit or exploitative content, minors, hateful or illegal content, unauthorized likenesses, protected characters or logos, exact imitation of a living artist, or attempts to evade safety controls. Rewrite the idea around an original subject, broad visual qualities, and lawful personal meaning.
Do not request a celebrity or private-person likeness without authorization, a protected character or brand mark you do not have permission to use, or an exact imitation of a living artist's style. Instead, describe broad qualities such as fine line, bold blackwork, geometric structure, ornamental balance, or botanical flow while keeping the subject and composition original.
TattooPreview AI does not guarantee copyright ownership, exclusivity, uniqueness, non-infringement, or commercial-use rights. Those questions depend on your prompt, the output, applicable law, third-party rights, and provider terms. Similar results can occur. Ask your tattoo artist to redraw and personalize the selected direction, and obtain legal advice if commercial or intellectual-property risk matters to your use.
Bring the selected concept, the clearest linework reference, any useful placement preview, and the artist brief. Be ready to explain the meaning, non-negotiable details, approximate size, body area, and what you are willing to change. Treat every generated image as conversation material. Your artist should decide the final composition, line weight, anatomy, placement, and technical execution.
First identify the specific problem: subject accuracy, composition, silhouette, missing detail, line density, scale, or placement. Return to the brief and change one or two constraints rather than rewriting everything at once. Choose a different concept before generating linework when the overall composition is wrong. Remember that each paid regeneration uses the credits shown in the interface.
No. The service cannot evaluate skin conditions, allergies, medications, infection risk, healing, pain tolerance, or whether tattooing is appropriate for you. It also cannot confirm local age rules or studio policy. Speak with a qualified healthcare professional about medical concerns and with a reputable professional tattoo artist about placement, hygiene, consent, aftercare, and local requirements.
Public share links, transparent PNG exports, and tattoo-ready transfer exports are not currently available. Signed-in users can review eligible generated results in private History, while the artist pack can be downloaded or printed as a PDF containing separate concept, linework, placement, and consultation-brief pages. If you need a production-ready stencil or specialized file format, ask your tattoo artist to prepare it from the approved final design.
Sign in and open Dashboard to manage an active subscription or payment method through Stripe's secure customer portal. Cancelling stops the next renewal and does not automatically refund the current paid period. Refund eligibility depends on usage, timing, delivery, applicable law, and the Refund Policy.
